ATI Mental Health n200 Exam Group 2 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A client has been taking oxycodone for pain. The client has returned three times for refills of the prescription. In addition to slurred speech, which assessment leads the nurse to suspect opioid intoxication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Constricted pupils, also known as miosis, are a classic sign of opioid intoxication. Opioids act on opioid receptors in the brainstem, which can lead to pupillary constriction.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is educating clients about recovery from alcohol abuse. Which statement indicates that learning has occurred?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: It acknowledges that recovery is not a quick fix or a one-time event but rather a lifelong journey that involves ongoing effort, self-awareness, and personal growth. Recognizing that recovery occurs in steps suggests an understanding of the incremental progress and challenges that may be encountered along the way.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse in the Emergency Department (ED) assesses a 17-year-old client exhibiting symptoms of opiate intoxication. Which of the following should be the nurse's priority action?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Administering naloxone is often the priority action for a client exhibiting symptoms of opiate intoxication, especially if they are experiencing significant respiratory depression or unconsciousness. Naloxone is a medication used to rapidly reverse the effects of opioids, including respiratory depression and sedation.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is administering furosemide $40 \mathrm{mg}$ PO to a client who has peripheral edema. Which method would the nurse use to best evaluate the client's response to this medication?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Furosemide is a diuretic that works by increasing urine output, which in turn reduces fluid retention and swelling. By tracking the client's weight on a daily basis, the nurse can obtain a clear and consistent measure of how much fluid is being lost as a result of the medication.
Question 5 of 5
When doing an admission assessment of a client with a history of alcoholism, the most important factor(s) to assess is/are:
Correct Answer: B,C,D
Rationale: B. Knowing whether they have sought treatment previously can help in understanding their treatment history, what interventions have been tried, and their level of engagement with treatment services. It can also indicate whether they might benefit from continuing with previous successful interventions or trying new approaches. C. This information provides crucial information about the client's current alcohol use and potential withdrawal risks. Understanding when the client last consumed alcohol helps in assessing the severity of their alcohol dependence, the potential for withdrawal symptoms, and the urgency of intervention. D. Understanding the client's coping skills helps in developing a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to their needs. Clients with effective coping skills may have a better prognosis and be more receptive to certain treatment approaches, while those lacking coping skills may require additional support and skill-building interventions. A. Track marks typically refer to visible signs of intravenous drug use, often associated with substances like heroin. While individuals with alcoholism may have comorbid substance use disorders, track marks specifically indicate a history of intravenous drug use, not alcoholism.
